Book Tower: 30,000 Books Makes For A Mighty Sight
I almost don't know anyone anymore who has a lot of books at home. It's like as soon as we started to get those digitalized books on our computers, we stopped stocking up on regular books. As a matter of fact, we took them out of our homes completely. The question is really, what did we do with them ...
Dice Figures: Portraying The Human Body Using Only Dice
When I was a young boy and went to school like every other dedicated student, I used to play Dungeons & Dragons during the breaks. I was in a group of people who regularly got together to kick some butt. One of us was the dungeon master dealing us all what we could take. It was a magical time, a ...
Creative Architecture: The Scariest Playground Ever Built
I remember back when Richard wrote about this rooftop pool because the way it was built made it look like you could swim right over the edge and plummet to your death. Putting that pool on top of a skyscraper right in the middle of the city made for a fantastic view, and I wouldn't mind taking a swi ...
World’s Smallest Space Invaders Arcade Game Machine
One of the first games I ever played in an arcade was Space Invaders. It was an amazing experience back then, and the more I played it, the more I wanted to continue. It was like a technological drug. Sure, the graphics weren't the most brilliant compared to today's graphics; however, back then the ...
Action Figures: Customized To Look Like Close Friends
Dr. Jesse Weiss is the Associate Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies at the University of the Ozarks. If you look at his picture on the school website, he looks like an ordinary guy. However, behind that scruffy beard and those black glasses lies a mad scientist who can do something mag ...
The World’s Largest Treehouse: A Mansion In A Tree
I love treehouses. It's one of those things I always wanted when I was a little girl but never got, that and an Easy Bake Oven. The thing that is strange to me about this treehouse is that I always thought the world's largest treehouse would probably be in some exotic jungle, like the kind you only ...
The Real Steampunk Iron Man Suit Is Magnificent
The insanely successful brand and franchise of Iron Man took the world by storm. I must admit that when I saw the trailer for the first movie, I wasn't overly impressed. I honestly thought it was just another superhero movie, even less awesome than most. However, the movie was way better than I had ...
Epic Sauron Tower Recreated With 50,000 Lego Blocks
It just so happens that we haven't published anything about Lego in quite a while (Not!). Since we haven't published anything about Lego since last week, I thought I would go ahead and write something in that category today. And boy did I ever find something you guys are going to love. We've seen ep ...
Jupiter Beer Case Castle Build: Made To Last
Any man-made structure these days seems to be created in order to make an impression. There are no longer houses being built just to make sense. They all have to be insanely impressive, and I find that quite awesome. First we have the everlasting "tallest" build class. That's a class of builds that ...
The Proof: The Life Size Lego Volvo Isn’t Fake!
This article is kind of special to me since it could be considered part two of the article "Can't Afford A Car? Build A Lego One..." I wrote that one right when Bit Rebels began, and now we are over 2 years old. The article I wrote back then is still one of the most successful articles we've ever ha ...
Transformers: The 2,000 Pound Bumblebee Vanilla Cake
It's always so much fun to see artists get inspired by the release of new movies. Yesterday I wrote about the stop-motion animations director who recreated the entire Cars 2 movie trailer in Lego. That was the result of several months of hard work, all inspired by a movie.
Another artist, a famou ...
Cars 2: The Entire Trailer Recreated In Lego
In just a few days, Cars 2 will be released here in the States. I know most people are fans of Lightning McQueen, but Mater was always my favorite. This new movie focuses more on him and his little adventures, so I have no doubt I'll like it. The only question for me is whether or not I'll see it in ...
The Star Wars Millennium Falcon Coffee Table
There is no shortage in geek customizations these days, and the more we look, the more we find. So far we've seen everything from Nintendo NES controller coffee tables to large working iPhone blow-up (meaning uber scale) coffee tables. The imagination of home tinkerers is never ending, and I foresee ...
The REAL Iron Man Suit Is From China
Yeah, so we here at Bit Rebels are huge Iron Man fans. We have talked about those movies, posted articles about them and debated whether or not Batman could really kick Iron Man's butt. And no, I am not going to tell you the outcome of our debate on that one. Evidently we have a thing for technology ...
Epic Lego Construction Is All Automated
Any epic Lego build is signed, sealed and delivered with a touch of creativity and uniqueness embedded into it. It's not always clear why something goes viral, or why some people get all excited checking out Lego builds. One thing is for sure, whenever there is a new epic Lego build uploaded to the ...
